Accidentally installed 3 extra standoffs under my motherboard is it really harmful?

Hello guys i accidentally installed 3 extra standoffs for my motherboard
My motherboard is atx and comes with 9 standoff screw holes but i used 9+3 screws by accident and the pc has been completely built and im using it about 3 weeks without any issues my question is should i be worry about it? As far as it is very hard for me to unscrew all the parts from the case and fix that issue i have too many big stuffs like 360mm cpu cooler a huge gpu+bracket and ...

Also my mobo has 3 white area at the backplate which marked as "standoff keep out zone" which extra standoffs should going to place there but i didnt pay attention to that during build i dont know if they prevent the standoffs to cut the mobo

If it works, it works... but I would STRONGLY recommend in the highest sense to remove them ASAP.
